the opportunity I will have tomorrow to enjoy a farewell dinner with one of my former M.A. classmates, who will return to Shanghai on Saturday, and the friendship we have formed over the last year and a half.

subbing assignments, like those I had on Tuesday and Wednesday, when I actually get to teach real Spanish and/or ESL lessons.

subbing assignments, like the one I had today and will have tomorrow, when I don't feel like much more than a glorified babysitter, but I do get to catch up on some reading. Too many of these days would drive me crazy, but I will admit that they are pretty relaxing and enjoyable every now and then!

first period "preps" as a sub, and the extra time they give me to read through plans, get to know a new building, and review emergency procedures.

I love your list! Your first one would be high on my list as well! I am so ready for warmer weather and sunshine! Your last one is full of anticipation and joy! I am so glad that you like Thankful Thursdays!

What a great list! So much to be thankful for. And I'm so glad that you jumped into this writing community! You do have a voice and you do belong. I first read your numbers in the last bullet and thought it was your new lock combination! But quickly realized you have so many more great celebrations to come! Enjoy every moment!
